Tiffany's Jewelry Palace

There are few persons who have not at
least heard of Tiffany's celebrated Jewelry
and Art House, and a great many other
people imagine that nothing of good quality
can be had except at Tiffany's. This is a
follacious idea, as there isn't the slightest
necessity for sending from home for a single
article in this line. We have right here as
fine and varied stock of Jewelry, Dia-
inonds, Bronzes, etc, as can be found any
iChere i'll the United States, d at prices as
low as can he obtained at Tiff
rect especial attention to our very
elaborate display of solid Silver Ware,
as also select line of Plated Ware. We
make feature of Ladies' Watches, Chains
and Charms, and those contemplating holl-
day gifts can be suited in every regard
Our display of the famous Lemaire's Opera
Glasses Is very complete and this quality
and fine workmanship does not need COM
mendation at our hands. We have some of
the prettieSt and most novel conceits in
Bronze Ornaments that one often sees, and
invite attention to them. A gold-headed
Silk Umbrella makes neat and inexpensive
present, and we have them in great variety
OF design of ornamentation. 1t is not pos
sible to describe more than some of our
leading articles in limited space, and, in
fact, by personal inspection only can the
eAteuU Oh our ellOfUs Jhls season De appre-
ciated. We do not allow the slightest mis-
representation, and where our guarantee is
placed it can be relied on to attach the re-
sponsibility that belongs to any tirst-class
house. Our many patrons of the past
are our best vouchers, and we certainly
intend to retain our place in their popular
regard. The rattle list for the mag niiicent
Diamond Necklace is filing up very rapidly
Bear in mind that n riSit TO our establish
nlent carries no obligation to buy with it,
We are just as glad to see the chance Wis
itor as the most determined buyer.

COL. ANDERsoNs SANITY
To Be Inquired Into by a Commission
of Lunacy.


To Be Inquired Into by Commission
of Lunacy.
A commission of lunacy will be summoned
early this week to inquire into the sanity of
Col. Clifford w. Anderson, who is confined
under lunacy warrant sworn out by Post
master George w. Lamar In reference to
the meeting between Col. Anderson and
Capt Lamar at the Post Office a week ago
Saturday night, the MORNING NEWS has
received Capt. Lamar's statement as re-
peated to Col Anderson's brothers. The
statement is as follows:
''In coming out of my office | saw Col
Anderson standing upon the top step of the
building with his back TO the door.
walked up to him with my pistol in my
hand cooked, holding the same by
my side, and said to him: Il under
stand you have threatened my life, if so
am ready Col. A. remarked: Il am I'M
armed and under peace bond for twelve
months, and started down the steps. At the
foot of the steps he turned and said: i wish
to speak to you ON a matter of business,
and as am unarmed suppose you are not
afraid to come down Upon going down
he said you owe me for seven days work
] informed him that | did not; that all he
could claim was for one day. He then said
to me you pointed a cooked pistol to my
head denied doing so, when he told me
that was - liar. / told him if he re-
peated that again would kill him"
The statement in Yesterdays MORNING
NEWS in reference to the occurrence was
based upon what was supposed to be reliable
information obtained at the post Office at
the time. The meeting between Col An
derson and Capt. Lamar, according to the
latter's statement, took place outside of the
post Office building Capt. Lamar had left
his desk for the day and was supposed to
have gone home and his meeting with Col
Anderson was doubtless unknown at the
time the information was obtained to the
officials inside of tho hiildipU

The Growth of the Bald Spot.

"The Growth of the Bald Spot" is the sub
ject of the comic lecture to be delivered to-
morrow night at the ball of the Young
Mems Christian Association. Mr.. Henry
Firth Woods, the we'll known humorous lee
turer, has delivered this lecture before the
members of various associations and the
pnhlic generally in the Northern cities, and
has received very hattering press notices.
The Entertainment Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association has exercised
considerable care in the selection of its
amusements, and has engaged only those
who stand highest in their profession.
There are many bald-headed men in this
city who have seen nothing ludicrous in
their badness. Perhaps they will be able
to laugh at their own misfortune tomorrow
night.

RIVER AND HARBoR NOTES.
Happenings Among the Shipping and
Along the WharVes

The steam tug Sophie arrived yeste rday
from Port Royal, with the lighter Florida
in tow. The latter has a cargo of phosphate
consigned to MeSsrs Hammond, Hull & Co
The tug Cynthia took a board of survey
consisting of Messrs. H. f. Willink. master
ship carpenter, Port Warden Virgins, and
James. T. Stewart, Lloyds agent, down
yesterday to the British bark Siberia, lying
in Tybee roads where a survey of the
vessel was held. The board recommended
that the vessel be brought up to Venus
Point, where she can better be examined to
locate the leak. II also recommended that
the chain bolts be backed out and replaced
with new ones, and that the plank shear
and stanchions be caulked, her bulwarks re-
paired, that the donkey engine he replaced
and secured, and that the pump channels
be bored out and foremost either scraped or
renewed

Many merchants get all they can for their
goods during the height of the season and
rely on alleged low prices TO work off the
surplus stock on the owe of new season.
We think differently. We make it "a rule
to Try and sell our goods Nth the season,
being satisfied with a continual small profit
III preference to high-priced "spurth and
then a big stock TO carry over at the end of
the season. In other words, we put the
lowest living prices on our stock from the
start, and Go not trust to luck or "below
cost" sale-that hoary-headed old chestnut
to work off what is left. So much for the
wedge Now for tho maui to drive our
arguments in.
Our stock has been augmented by our
hottddy selections, comprising special gar
ments, Suits, Overcoats, Neckwear, Silk
Handkerchlefs and Furnishings for the gala
season; many novelties, all gems of the
manufacturers good taste. We have a
pretty line of Prince Albert Suits, not only
the well-known blacks and blues. but in
mixed goods Also a dashing line of four
button Getaway Suits. In short, our entire
STOCK indicates the merchant tailor rather
than the ready-nade dealer, without the
merchant tailor price. The Big Golden

THE SOUTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.

The South Georgia Conference comprises
only the lower half of the State and repre-
sents g communicate membership in the
church of 100000. The conference
is divided into eight districts, over
each of which a presiding elder is
placed. One hundred and seventy-five
ministers will have their years work re-
viewed and their appointments arranged for
next year. There are also about seventy
five local preachers in the conference terri
tory, in addition to the itineracy, but
they have no voice in the conference. A
religious body, active, aggressive and en-
thusastic like this, with its rapid increase
OF several Thousand a year, exerts an inn
mense influence.
Bishop Holland N. McTyiere, the senior
bishop of the church, who presided in the
North Georgia Conference at Marietta last
week, will be the presiding bishop at San
dersville. Bishop McTyiere is regarded as
the ablest of his compeers, and is one of the
strong pillars of Methodism.
Aside from the rearranging of appoint.
ments many important matters are to come
before the conference. The missionary
work is one of the most important subjects
that the church has to deal with.
ANOTHER PREACHER FOR SAVANNAH.
There is a large field for missionary labor
here, and the conference will be asked to
appoint a junior preacher for Trinity
church, with view to developing the mis-
sionary field, and taking up
work that the church. with
it's large membership, is unable to
undertake without an assistant preacher.
Who will be sent the church does not know.
1t is merely speculation to say who will sue
coed any of the pastors here, whether they
will be their own successors or whether new
ministers will be SENT although it is some
times possible to forestall the action of the
Bishop and his cabinet Sometimes a church
asks for preacher and gets him, but the
Bishop, advised by his cabinet, which Is
composed of the Presiding Elders, exercises
his own discretion and sends to a church the
pastor whom he thinks best suited for the
work All this the church accepts as mat
ter of course, for it is the Methodist way
and custom.
